Alexander Romanov or St. Petersburg

Alexander Romanov, nobleman, personification of the city of St. Petersburg.

Saint Petersburg was founded on May 27, 1703, and was awarded the title of capital in childhood. Since childhood, Alexander is surrounded by nobles, politicians and capitals of other states. But Alexander had a short childhood, and very soon Petersburg matured not only morally, but also physically. It was constantly being improved, it was considered the center of culture and life in Russia, everyone wanted to settle in it. Alexander cannot die a natural death, so he does not age like people. It is the 18th century, before the bloody events of the French Revolution. The young man always moves in important circles, and, like all decent people, maintains a mask of greatness, nobility and pomposity, but his character can be very different from this depending on the circumstances. The young man can be rude, can be caustic, but he can also be calm. He will not tolerate a violation of his honor and dignity because of his upbringing. Alexander had a creator, Peter I, who died in 1725, without having time to name his heir, which is why the era of palace coups began. Peter I was considered his father, Petersburg was even named in his honor - Alexander Romanov, but in fact the monarch was not one - cities do not have parents. But still immature, small St. Petersburg took his death hard, and promised itself to become a model capital. And it became so very soon. He speaks excellent French, in St. Petersburg for some time the nobility spoke mainly French.
